First Gym Day

>he fell for the /fit/ gym routines meme

and as you can see nothing bad happend
now just keep going and ull make gains
at least thats what it was like for me

Fucking relish it man. If you're struggling with just the bar now you're going to be making gains at such a silly rate. I fucking miss just starting out. Adding weight like crazy. Feels good.

I still remember my first gym day... I was wearing a pair of Dickie's shorts, a 300 movie t-shirt, and a pair of dirty Nikes. My workout that followed consisted of an embarrassing combination of bicep curls, tricep dips, and chest press all on machines.

I do that literally every day and I'll never be shamed out of it

You played yourself, the sticky is a lie

Ugh I wish I could go back and be a beginner again. Gains literally everyday

Congrats my dude. The hardest part is over and done with. Now you can look forward to mega gains every session.

>>38777511
don't compare yourself to the other guys. Everyone was a beginner once, and your better off learning form with low weight than fucking up with heavy weights.
quality over quantity anon. you're gonna make it.

The intimidation feeling goes away

I started lifting at like 14 and I was a chubby kid and I remembered I felt very intimidated by everyone because I barely knew how to lift. Now Im 18 and relatively fit so I just ignore the people around me. Just ignore that chad desu there is nothing more to add. Put your headphones and do your things.

The anxiety of that first day will forever keep me out of the gym and a skeletor

maybe I can get up to something Im not ashamed of by just doing a shitton of push-ups/sit-ups and pull-ups at home.

Ive been going to the gym an hour a day for the past three days and intend to keep it up until a hackathon in two weeks.

Am I supposed to be seeing results already? My body is usually sore from the workouts but that's all I've noticed so far.

And also how important is diet? My diet is pretty bad right now, but if i just start eating more vegetables and fruit but less junk food will i make gains faster?

Nigga watch rip's videos on art of manliness. He explains each lift very well. Now that you have done the lifts you will know specifically what to look out for. Keep these things in mind

After my first time in the gym I nearly collapsed on the way to the showers. My whole vision turned grey and I fell down on the nearest bench. One muscular guy that came from the showers sat down next to me and asked if everything is alright. I nearly vomitted, while assuring him everything is OK.
After that i wasted 1 year of lifting on machines, until I got myself a homegym and had to start practically from the bottom.
